config: fix leaks from git_config_get_string_const()

2020-08-14T17:52:04Z

There are two functions to get a single config string: - git_config_get_string() - git_config_get_string_const() One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never intend to free. The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function, 13 of them leak the resulting value. We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the string versions will print an error and die). So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp" is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset, invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: rename struct fields

2020-07-31T02:18:06Z

The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

strvec: fix indentation in renamed calls

2020-07-28T22:02:18Z

Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like: argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in mis-matched indentation like: strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did this manually by sifting through the results of: git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$' and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

strvec: convert more callers away from argv_array name

2020-07-28T22:02:18Z

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts remaining files from the first half of the alphabet, to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add '[abcdefghjkl]*'". We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

serve: advertise object-format capability for protocol v2

2020-05-27T17:07:07Z

In order to communicate the protocol supported by the server side, add support for advertising the object-format capability. We check that the client side sends us an identical algorithm if it sends us its own object-format capability, and assume it speaks SHA-1 if not. In the test, when we're using an algorithm other than SHA-1, we need to specify the algorithm in use so we don't get a failure with an "unknown format" message. Add a test that we handle a mismatched algorithm. Remove the test_oid_init call since it's no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

connect: parse v2 refs with correct hash algorithm

2020-05-27T17:07:07Z

When using protocol v2, we need to know what hash algorithm is used by the remote end. See if the server has sent us an object-format capability, and if so, use it to determine the hash algorithm in use and set that value in the packet reader. Parse the refs using this algorithm.

connect: pass full packet reader when parsing v2 refs

2020-05-27T17:07:07Z

When we're parsing refs, we need to know not only what the line we're parsing is, but also the hash algorithm we should use to parse it, which is stored in the reader object. Pass the packet reader object through to the protocol v2 ref parsing function. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

connect: detect algorithm when fetching refs

2020-05-27T17:07:06Z

If we're fetching refs, detect the hash algorithm and parse the refs using that algorithm. As mentioned in the documentation, if multiple versions of the object-format capability are provided, we use the first. No known implementation supports multiple algorithms now, but they may in the future. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
